Chapter five hundred and fortieth doubts
Chapter 543: Suspicious points
Under the leadership of Eunuch Qian, Jiang Lang and Yu Qian came to the Imperial Garden. Emperor Jingtai was walking back and forth there with some anxiety, so they went up and were about to kneel down, Emperor Jingtai said, "Okay, okay, don't kneel down, get up, I have something to ask you!"
But a large part of it is just asking Jiang Lang.
The two of them did not kneel down and waited respectfully for Emperor Jingtai to speak.
Emperor Jingtai also asked at this time: "Wang Aiqing, do you really plan to use all of these 800,000 taels to build new warships by the navy?"
Jiang Lang looked around and found some other maids serving him. In addition to the eunuchs, the money was also next to him and frowned slightly. The money was already a little unfair and had to be careful, so he said, "Please send the others away!"
Emperor Jingtai waved his hand, and Eunuch Qian immediately shouted: "Everyone goes down!"
But I didn't leave.
"You go too!"
Emperor Jingtai shouted without any hesitation.
Only then did Eunuch Qian leave reluctantly, and Emperor Jingtai said: "You can say it now, right?"
Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Your Majesty, there were some things I didn't have time to say yesterday. Please allow me to tell you in detail today!"
"Then you say!"
Emperor Jingtai said.
Jiang Lang then said, "Your Majesty, the compensation for Komu Army this time is one million taels, but since they can only raise 800,000 taels now, I have only brought back 800,000 taels."
"One million taels?"
Emperor Jingtai couldn't help but be stunned, frowned, and said, "What you said is true?"
"It's true!"
Jiang Lang immediately answered, and then added: "In addition, I have reached a preliminary agreement with the Komu Army, and at the same time I have successfully provoked civil strife in the Komu Army. In the face of the Komu Army, they promised that as long as our army landed in another Daming territory, they would pay us one million taels. However, I estimated that it would take about a year, so I thought that during this period, we should vigorously develop the navy, establish our absolute power at sea, and then first help the Komu Army fight. When both of them were both defeated, they would completely conquer them and make them our colonies, and then start to conquer other countries with them as the center. In this way, we can plunder a large number of resources from their country to strengthen our Ming Dynasty!"
Emperor Jingtai frowned slightly and said, "Why didn't you say these things during the morning court?"
"I dare not say it!"
Jiang Lang replied.
“Why?”
Emperor Jingtai asked.
Jiang Lang said, "On the way back, I was attacked, and it was only one day away from the capital. Moreover, the assassin was as high as a hundred people. I could understand my whereabouts so well and set up such a strict ambush. I thought that this person must be a person in the court, and at the same time, this person hated me to the core. So, I dare not say what I said just now. One of the big reasons is that I am worried that after this person knows, I will ignore the righteousness of the country and treacherously, and then I will smuggle the enemy and stolen the country for personal grudges. In this way, our plan will be completely failed. At the greatest possible possibility, it will destroy the lives of my Ming soldiers for free. Please give the emperor a clear explanation."
Emperor Jingtai's face changed and he said, "Is there such a thing?"
Yu Qian echoed at this time: "Your Majesty, it is very likely that I have thought carefully when I went back. Lord Wang was right. Now all the civil and military officials in the court know that Lord Wang is the emperor's most trusted general. Whether it is this, it is essential for this high-powered or a thorny. In this case, there are people who assassinate Lord Wang. It can be seen that he has completely given up the interests of the Ming country and chose to be his own selfishness. Therefore, it is reasonable not to say it in the morning court, and it is also for the sake of my Ming soldiers."
Emperor Jingtai nodded repeatedly after hearing this and asked, "So do you know who this person is?"
After saying that, Chaojianglang looked at him.
Feeling the gaze of Emperor Jingtai, Jiang Lang pondered for a moment and said, "I think that the master behind the assassin should have been the ones who have read the memorials, because I heard from Master Yu that the emperor only said that I was going back in the morning court, but did not say the reason and time of my return. Therefore, the civil and military officials in the court did not know what happened to me when I arrived in the capital. In my memorials, they wrote about the specific time of my departure and the time of arrival at Tianjin Port. Therefore, those who know me may be the master behind the assassin. And I know that there are other people who know me, besides the emperor and Master Yu!"
'"Eunuch Qian?"
Emperor Jingtai immediately said, then touched his chin, walked a few steps back and forth, and then said: "Your memorial was submitted directly to me that day, and in addition to me and Aiqing, there were also Eunuch Qian. Could it be that he was the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Emperor Jingtai couldn't help but look surprised, then shook his head and said, "No, it should be impossible. Eunuch Qian is loyal to me and the court. He should not do such a ruthless thing. Perhaps it was the guards and eunuchs who left and revealed the news!"
Emperor Jingtai often had some intention of protecting Mr. Qian, and Jiang Lang could naturally hear it. However, based on his previous small actions and what Emperor Jingtai said, Mr. Qian was the most suspicious. So after pondering for a moment, Jiang Lang said: "Emperor, although there is no direct evidence now that Mr. Qian did it, it is not just ruled out that he is not the mastermind, so he asked the emperor to give full power to the ministers to investigate and find the real murderer. Yes, I will never let it go. No, and I will never wrongly accuse the good man!"
Emperor Jingtai was not willing to say much because Jiang Lang made such a concession, so he nodded and said, "Then I will leave this matter to you for investigation, and I will not stop you. But after all, according to you, you should vigorously develop the navy. This matter..."
"I think this matter is urgent!"
Jiang Lang said without hesitation, "Last time we fought with the Komu Army, the Komu Army used the island to build an offensive to resist. If we wanted to take this place and eliminate the Komu Army according to the ordinary attack method, we would lose at least a few thousand people. That time we only lost one hundred people. With the support of the powerful firepower of the warship, the Komu Army had no power to fight back. It can be seen that the quality of the weapons determines the victory or defeat of the war and the casualties of our own side. Moreover, with a powerful navy, we can transport our soldiers to any coastal countries to land, making them unable to defend. Moreover, the Komu Army has always been ambitious. If we do not attack them, we will invade our country in the future. So we should first take the initiative to provoke their civil strife, and then help one side eliminate the other side, and then destroy one side, so we can avoid being enemies with one country at the same time."
Although this was said a long time ago, Emperor Jingtai was somewhat indecisive and ambitious, but he was also worried about failure, so Jiang Lang had to tell him his plans.
It is somewhat annoying to meet such an emperor, but he is an emperor, so there is nothing he can do, he can only be patient.
After a silence for a moment, Emperor Jingtai said again: "I think there is no problem in attacking Koumu Army, but I just attack other countries? You must know that we are a great country, a country of etiquette, this..."
Jiang Lang couldn't help but despise him. The country of etiquette, which has changed dynasties in a few hundred years? In this world, the so-called country of etiquette is based on the premise of being strong. When it comes to the market, those people can only accept it. Even if they oppose it, they can be ignored directly.
So he immediately said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the past Wats? We are polite to them. There is no way to know that they are eyeing them covetously. Even if we do not invade others, others will invade us. Instead of sitting at home and being beaten, it is better to take the initiative to attack and expand our Ming territory. Watsty is now civil strife. We adopt a peaceful evolution, turn their people into our people, and then take the opportunity to expand. Even if they oppose it, because we are strong, they will have no choice. For high strength, the method we use is to control and control their emperor, and use it for us. He is a puppet. Similarly, for some other countries, we should also use powerful force to conquer them, support the puppet regime and make them loyal to our Ming Dynasty. In this way, we can establish a large number of colonies and strengthen ourselves. In this way, no country dares to peek at a powerful Ming Dynasty!"
Emperor Jingtai pondered slightly, but did not immediately express his opinion.
Yu Qian also said at this time: "Your Majesty, I think this is reasonable, so you might as well consider it carefully!":
Emperor Jingtai nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will also think carefully!"
